Accuracy under control Mikron used all its knowledge and many years of experience when designing the Multistar. High quality manufacturing of the basic machine, compact, thermally symmetric design and perfect conformity of station supports and indexing plate are special Multistar features. Tight fitting spindles and spring chuck sets fitted with bearings and optimized cutting tools layout complete the perfect Mikron-precision concept. Repeated precision in the range Multistar provides unrivalled accuracy even when it comes to positioning of the turntable after rotation. Two diame- trically...

Spring chucks, a strategic element Developed and manufactured by Mikron, the Multistar spring chucks fit perfectly to the machine concept. Special features • Safety: The chuck clamping force which is equally distributed on the parts outer edges, always ensures that the workpieces will not become deformed • Precision: Precise and compact spring chucks guarantee highly accurate repeatability. • Productivity: Compact construction allows for a higher concentration of spring chuck in a tight space. • Versatility: Ideal for round and randomly profiled parts with precise outer edges, up to a...

The high volume professional Multistar is outstanding due to its high productivity. Simultaneous double sided machining on 12 or 24 stations, at a cadence of 150 cycles per minute, guarantees an exceptional high output. Fastest transfer machine in the world: Multistar from Mikron Multistar reaches turbo performance. How? The answer ies in the mechanical schematics: The drive motor propels a Geneva cross mechanism which, in turn, "clocks" the turntable. A frequency converter enables adjustment of the cycle times between 12 and 150 switching cycles per minute in order to match the particular...

Multistar tooling change as fast as a formula 1 tire change The working spindles can be inserted into or released from the machining stations with very few steps. This allows practical tool setting to be carried out away from the machine with maximum accessibility. A second set of spindles optimizes use of the rapid tooling change. The operator can set the additional set, while the production with Multistar continues running. When reinstalling the spindles the precise positioning is equally quick and easy: Pre-loaded spherical liners ensure tight fitting guidance of the spindles. A fixed...

To serve your needs Multistar has a modular design and can be tailored to ndividual customer needs. The Mikron engineers set the highest possible standards. Special designs for stamping, bending and assembly tasks for insertion of bolts, balls and screws are daily challenges for our experts. Speda measuring and testing units are also often developed for our customers and integrated into the manufacturing process. CNC units expand the Multistar field of application. The plant with the CNC units is more flexible, re-tooling is greatly simplified. When are CNC units particularly useful? For...
